We live on rumours
A shadow world of lies in which we're all
Our own consumers
Aware that every secret has its price
In this little private game where nothing's confidential
Where rise to power, wealth and fame
Does anything but last
If you could only see the world through my eyes
I wonder would you like the view
And would it mean the same to you
If you could only see the world through my eyes
Supermen and drama queens
The stage is yours behind the scenes
They're in for more
But you've been there before
The road of claims and allegations
Stuck within your own revolving door
Your soul for free publicity
The gateway to the ma**es
Sleeping with the enemy
A cuckoo in your nest
You can try to hide your tracks
All questionable facts
Delete your notes, your compromising files
No matter how you clean the place
They'll even find the smallest trace
Of anything that makes it worth their while
To bring you down in style
If you could only see the world through my eyes
I wonder would you like the view
And would it mean the same to you
They're back again
Get out while you still can
Out of their web of information
Escape their short attention span
Back into obscurity, the world of second guesses
Where shameless curiosity and talking to the rest
If you could only see the world through my eyes
I wonder would you like the view
And would it mean the same to you
If you could only see the world through my eyes
Fallen stars and could-have-beens
The stage is yours behind the scenes
A long parade of wasted dreams
